About Movember

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men.

In 2018, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas from across Canada helped us raise $18.1 million for Movember.

These donations allow Movember to raise awareness, invest in vital men's health initiatives and run Movember each year. They want to help men live happier, healthier and longer lives. They do this by investing in the following critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
